UNI-FORMZ: BATMAN DESIGNED & SCULPTED BY MONSTER 5

Batman is the first in a new line of stylized vinyl UNI-FORMZ, inspired by the red-hot designer toy phenomenon!

DC Direct has joined forces with popular contemporary toy designer
Monster 5 to create this unique version of Batman. This bold new take
on the Caped Crusader is a must-have for collectors of contemporary toy
design, as well as traditional fans of Batman!

Debuting this month are three styles of Batman: the “modern” Batman in
his black costume, a variant version in the “classic” blue and gray
costume, and an ultra-stylized variant “armored” version!

These designer toys are limited! Once they are sold out, DC Direct will not produce these styles again!

In keeping with the tradition of designer toys, rarity of certain
incarnations are the norm. The Batman variants (“classic” and
“armored”) will be produced in far lower quantities.

The line of UNI-FORMZ continues in the months ahead with original
designs for Superman, Green Lantern, and other favorite DC Universe
characters.

Don’t miss this chance to get the first in the series!

of articulation, stands approximately 8” tall and is packaged in a
deluxe 4-color window box.
